Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the priority benefit of Chinese application serial no. 201410334724.X, filed on Jul. 15, 2014. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.
BACKGROUND
Technical Field
The invention relates to a light source module, and particularly relates to a light source module adapted to a projector.
Related Art
A projector is a display device capable of producing images at anytime anywhere. An imaging principle of the projector is to convert an illumination beam produced by a light source into an image beam via a light valve, and the image beam is projected onto a screen or a wall through a lens to form an image. With progressing of projection technique and reduction of manufacturing cost, use of the projector has gradually expanded from commercial use to domestic use.
Generally, the projector has a light source module for providing light beams required for image projection. In order to satisfy a demand on high brightness of the projector, some projectors are installed with a plurality of light emitting devices in order to improve a light intensity of the light source module, and when number of the light emitting devices of the projector is increased, the number of cooling fans is also increased in order to respectively cool down the light emitting devices. Under restriction of a limited configuration space of the light source module in the projector, a guide duct of each cooling fan is required to be over bended in order to guide a cooling airflow to each of the light emitting devices. However, a flow rate of the cooling airflow has a loss due to the over bending, and a heat dissipation rate is accordingly decreased due to such design. On the other hand, if the air output of the cooling fan is increased in order to solve the above problem, the cooling fans may produce excessive noise to bother the user during the operation.
China Patent Publication No. CN102540674 discloses a projection apparatus, in which two fans are used to dissipate heat of a single lamp. The heat inside the lamp is concentrated at a top side of the lamp, and airflow intensities of the two fans can be adjusted, such that the intensity of the airflow at the top side of the lamp is higher than that of the airflow at a bottom side of the lamp, by which a temperature difference between the top side and the bottom side of the lamp is decreased. China Utility Model Patent No. CN202522834 discloses a cooling device of a projector, in which two fans are used to dissipate heat of a single bulb. The heat is concentrated at a high temperature section above a lighting tube of the bulb, and a flow rate of the fan corresponding to the high temperature section can be adjusted to a larger value. U.S. Patent Publication No. US20080231812 discloses an image projecting section having two light source devices, where heat of each light source is dissipated by two fans.
The information disclosed in this BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION section is only for enhancement of understanding of the BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION section of the described technology and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art. Further, the information disclosed in the BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION section does not mean that one or more problems to be resolved by one or more embodiments of the invention was acknowledged by a person of ordinary skill in the art.
SUMMARY
The invention is directed to a light source module, which is provided with dual light sources and has good cooling efficiency.
Other objects and advantages of the invention can be further illustrated by the technical features broadly embodied and described as follows.
In order to achieve one or a part of or all of the objects or other objects, an embodiment of the invention provides a light source module, which is adapted to a projector. The light source module includes a light source, a light combining system, a first cooling fan, a second cooling fan, a first guide duct and a second guide duct. The light source includes a first light emitting device and a second light emitting device. The light combining system is disposed between the first light emitting device and the second light emitting device. The first cooling fan is disposed on the first light emitting device. The second cooling fan is disposed on the second light emitting device. The first guide duct is connected to the first cooling fan and guides a cooling airflow provided by the first cooling fan to the second light emitting device. The second guide duct is connected to the second cooling fan and guides a cooling airflow provided by the second cooling fan to the first light emitting device.
According to the above descriptions, the embodiment of the invention has at least one of the following advantages. In the embodiment of the invention, the first cooling fan is disposed on the first light emitting device and the first cooling fan is used to dissipate heat of the second light emitting device. The second cooling fan is disposed on the second light emitting device and the second cooling fan is used to dissipate heat of the first light emitting device. In this way, in case that the first light emitting device and the second light emitting device are disposed opposite to each other, the first guide duct connected to the first cooling fan is capable of guiding the cooling airflow provided by the first cooling fan to the second light emitting device via a relatively small bending degree, and the second guide duct connected to the second cooling fan is capable of guiding the cooling airflow provided by the second cooling fan to the first light emitting device via a relatively small bending degree. Thus, loss of a flow rate of the cooling airflow due to over bending is decreased, so as to improve heat dissipation capability of the light source module.
Other objectives, features and advantages of the invention will be further understood from the further technological features disclosed by the embodiments of the invention wherein there are shown and described preferred embodiments of this invention, simply by way of illustration of modes best suited to carry out the invention.

FIG. 1 is a side view of a light source module according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 2 is a top view of the light source module of FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the light source module 100 of the embodiment is adapted to a projector, and is used for providing light beams required by images projected by the projector. The light source module 100 includes a light source 110 and a light combining system 120, the light source 110 includes a first light emitting device 110 a and a second light emitting device 110 b. The light combining system 120 is disposed between the first light emitting device 110 a and the second light emitting device 110 b, and combines the light emitted by the first light emitting device 110 a and the light emitted by the second light emitting device 110 b. The light combining system 120 includes at least one light combining prism. In other embodiments, the light combining system 120 may include other suitable light combining elements, for example, a beam splitter, relay lenses, a light condensing lens, etc., however, the invention is not limited thereto.
The light source module 100 further includes a first cooling fan 130 a, a second cooling fan 130 b, a first guide duct 140 a and a second guide duct 140 b. The first cooling fan 130 a is disposed on the first light emitting device 110 a, and the second cooling fan 130 b is disposed on the second light emitting device 110 b. The first guide duct 140 a is connected to the first cooling fan 130 a and guides a cooling airflow F1 provided by the first cooling fan 130 a to the second light emitting device 110 b, and the second guide duct 140 b is connected to the second cooling fan 130 b and guides a cooling airflow F2 provided by the second cooling fan 130 b to the first light emitting device 110 a. In the embodiment, the first guide duct 140 a has a first bending section 142 a bending towards the second light emitting device 110 b, and the second guide duct 140 b has a second bending section 142 b bending towards the first light emitting device 110 a. The first cooling fan 130 a and the second cooling fan 130 b are, for example, a sirocco fan, a silent fan, an axial flow fan, or other fans suitable for providing the cooling airflow, however, the invention is not limited thereto.
In case that the first light emitting device 110 a and the second light emitting device 110 b are disposed opposite to each other as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the heat of the second light emitting device 110 b is dissipated by the first cooling fan 130 a disposed on the first light emitting device 110 a, and the heat of the first light emitting device 110 a is dissipated by the second cooling fan 130 b disposed on the second light emitting device 110 b. Thus, the first guide duct 140 a can guide the cooling airflow F1 provided by the first cooling fan 130 a to the second light emitting device 110 b via a smaller bending degree of the first bending section 142 a, and the second guide duct 140 b can guide the cooling airflow F2 provided by the second cooling fan 130 b to the first light emitting device 110 a via a smaller bending degree of the second bending section 142 b.
In this way, loss of flow rates of the cooling airflow F1 and the cooling airflow F2 due to over bending is decreased, so as to improve heat dissipation capability of the light source module 100. Therefore, it is unnecessary to excessively increase the air output of the first cooling fan 130 a and the second cooling fan 130 b in order to improve the cooling capability of the light source module 100, so as to avoid excessive noise produced when the first cooling fan 130 a and the second cooling fan 130 b are working.
For example, bending angles of the first bending section 142 a and the second bending section 142 b are less than 90 degrees, such that the cooling airflow F1 and the cooling airflow F2 can be more smooth. In other embodiments, the bending angles of the first bending section 142 a and the second bending section 142 b can be preferred in the range of 25 to 50 degrees or other suitable angle ranges; the invention is not limited thereto.
In the embodiment, a beam emitted by the first light emitting device 110 a and a beam emitted by the second light emitting device 110 b are respectively transmitted to the light combining system 120 along a first optical axis A1 and a second optical axis A2, and the beam emitted by the first light emitting device 110 a and the beam emitted by the second light emitting device 110 b are transmitted along a third optical axis A3 (shown in FIG. 2) after combined by the light combining system 120, where the first optical axis A1 and the second optical axis A2 are perpendicular to the third optical axis A3.

The beam emitted by the first light emitting device 110 a, the beam emitted by the second light emitting device 110 b and the beam combined by the light combining system 120 are not blocked by the first guide duct 140 a and the second guide block 140 b, either. Thus, light emitting of the light source module 100 is not impeded.
Referring to FIG. 2, the first light emitting device 110 a has a first portion P1 and a second portion P2, the second light emitting device 110 b has a third portion P3 and a fourth portion P4, where the first portion P1 and the second portion P2 are respectively aligned to the third portion P3 and the fourth portion P4, the first optical axis A1 is located between the first portion P1 and the second portion P2, and the second optical axis A2 is located between the third portion P3 and the fourth portion P4. The first cooling fan 130 a has a first air outlet 132 a, and the second cooling fan 130 b has a second air outlet 132 b.

In detail, the first lampshade 112 a and the second lampshade 112 b respectively have a first opening end H1 and a second opening end H2, where the first opening end H1 and the second opening end H2 all face the light combining system 120. The light combining system 120 is located between the first opening end H1 and the second opening end H2, such that the beams emitted by the first light emitting element 114 a and the second light emitting element 114 b can respectively pass through the first opening end H1 and the second opening end H2 to reach the light combining system 120. Moreover, the first guide duct 140 a extends from the first cooling fan 130 a to the second opening end H2, and the second guide duct 140 b extends from the second cooling fan 130 b to the first opening end H1, such that the cooling airflow F1 provided by the first cooling fan 130 a and the cooling airflow F2 provided by the second cooling fan 130 b are respectively guided by the first guide duct 140 a and the second guide duct 140 b to dissipate the heat inside the first lampshade 112 a and the heat inside the second lampshade 112 b. In the embodiment, the first cooling fan 130 a is disposed at a side of the first lampshade 112 a, and the second cooling fan 130 b is disposed at a side of the second lampshade 112 b, however, the first cooling fan 130 a and the second cooling fan 130 b can be respectively assembled with the first light emitting device 110 a and the second light emitting device 110 b through other components according to space configuration requirements, the invention is not limited thereto.
